Curriculum
Core modules:

- Forensic Biology and Genetics - Considering a wide range of types of biological evidence with an emphasis on DNA profiling, including advanced topics such as the interpretation of mixed profiles.
- Forensic Analysis and Toxicology - A study of advanced issues in analytical science that relate to the main chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques with a particular focus on sampling and sample preparation, and interpretation of results. This is especially important in the field of Forensic Toxicology, which features prominently in this module.
- Research Methods and Practical Skills - Preparation for planning and carrying out your research project, including statistical analysis techniques.
- Research Project - An independent laboratory-based project in an area linked to the core areas of the taught course.
